Black, Teresa
October 28, 1942 — January 14, 2012
Service: Friday, February 3, 2012 2-5pm
Location: Reception at the Hotel Eldorado
Having lived a full and exceptional life, Terry passed away on Saturday, January 14, peacefully at home with family by her side, after a long fight with cancer. Born October 28, 1942, Ann Maria O’Hanlon, adopted by Elsie and Michael Moore, Terry lived in England with her brother John Moore until age 8. After immigrating to Canada, she grew up in Alberta and moved to Kelowna as an adult. Family was most important to Terry. She traced her roots back to her birth mother, discovering a clutch of siblings who welcomed her with open arms. She nurtured her family tree, supporting her children and cheering her grandchildren in their pursuits. Whether on the soccer pitch, at the rink, or grandparents’ day, Terry was there. She leaves behind the family she loved, Douglas Black, her husband of 28 years, son Grant Johnson, daughter Sharlene (John) Sherring, Gordon (Sarah) Black, Ian (Michelle) Black, daughter-in-law Holly, grandchildren Joel and Dallace, Andrew and Oliver, Cason, Harris and Hadley, Cameron and Darcy. She leaves her brother John Moore of Victoria and siblings in England and New Zealand Bern, Dee, Lynne, John and Angie, and her many friends near and far. Terry loved to travel and one of her happiest experiences was as a volunteer at the Vancouver Olympics. She also loved her home where her quiet compassion and patience marked her lifelong passion for horses and breeding. Terry enjoyed each aspect of breeding, and was particularly proud of her success as breeder of a BC Derby Winner. Terry worked hard, lived life on her own terms, and was as quick with her smile as she was “calling a spade a spade”. Terry will be missed in our days, but her spirit will remain with us. Thank you to Drs. Ellard, Fyles, McLeod and Wickstrom, and the Kelowna General Hospital for their compassion and care. On Friday, February 3, 2012 a private family service will be held, followed by a reception at the Hotel Eldorado 2-5pm, for friends and family to celebrate her life. For grandson Oliver, the punch will be really good. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Canadian Cancer Society for Ovarian Cancer Research

I am not sure where to start. My heart is heavy. Terry and Doug gave me an opportunity when I really needed one. I did not know then how profoundly my life would be changed because of Terry and Doug. Not only did I learn about the horse industry, more importantly, I learned about family…Terry and Doug treated my own daughter Ashlee, like she was their own. Helping instil the love of horses, she experienced four births up close and personal. Ashlee now works at Fairfield Animal Clinic and continues to live her passion for horses. Thank you so much Terry…. I know where you are the horses run wild and free….We love you and will never forget you.
With Fond Memories and Sincere Condolences,
Rick and Ashlee Jacobs
